Nova Scotia Liberals drop candidate after alleged inappropriate comments
HALIFAX — The Nova Scotia Liberals say they have dropped a candidate after he allegedly made inappropriate social media commentary.
A news release from campaign chair Chris MacInnes said the “highly inappropriate” comments from Pictou East candidate Matthew MacKnight were brought to his attention Monday.
MacInnes does not say what the comments were, but said they were unacceptable and run contrary to the values of the party.
He said after a thorough review, the party decided MacKnight could no longer stand as a Liberal candidate.
